"Certainly there is no contending against the Will of God; but still there is some difficulty in ascertaining, and applying it, to particular cases." - Abraham Lincoln
What does God want of each of us individually? To have a mind, apparently, and then what? Thoughts pass through it based initially on circumstance. At some point as we age we choose our actions and course, within limits and other occasionally random circumstances. God presides over it with a unique sense of justice, including acts of nature beyond human influence.
What should we do?
Change others? Seems against the natural order. Change mostly happens from within, not without.
Enjoy creation? I think so. I think a creator of so much good is pleased by its enjoyment.
Help others enjoy creation? Yes, the tricky part. Ascertaining and applying the greatest good.
Tens of thousands of people will indirectly be counting on my contribution to a small measure of their future happiness through my work next week. A couple dozen will be counting on it directly. We'll see how much enjoyment results!
